Riding in to work this morning, I was just idling along in traffic, and there was a girl, maybe in her early 20s, waiting on a median strip to cross the road. The median was a green, grassy island with a jacaranda tree on it, and as she stepped across the grass she looked out from under her fringe with a half-smile, and I was just transfixed for an instant by her beauty.
